John Piper famously said, "Missions exists because worship doesn’t." The primary goal for the follower of Jesus is not missions but worship. Missions is the means by which the Christian seeks to help people from every tribe, tongue, nation and language encounter Jesus and follow His way. The book of Jonah is a fairly simple book that shows us this deep biblical reality. In many ways it is a simple book about a man running away from God and God pursuing him and whose heart for all peoples.
